Clover Watson wants more from life than what she can find on her daddy's farm in southern Oregon. Young, smart, and driven, she has a plan and she refuses to be distracted from her goals. After four years at the University of Washington in Seattle, she heads home for the summer with her diploma and an acceptance letter to graduate school at University of Portland. She's sure she’s got things all figured out.
Except for Jake Feldman. He was one of her childhood friends, and she hasn't seen him since she left for College four years ago. This summer he's back in town and all grown up -- sweet, handsome, and completely smitten with Clover.
At first, she thinks a harmless summer fling is the perfect reward for her hard work at school. But as the summer continues and their romance grows, Jake challenges everything she thought she knew about herself and her plans. When the end of summer comes, Clover is forced to evaluate what she really wants, but can she find a way to write Jake into her life?
About the Author:
Braxton Cole lives in the Pacific Northwest where she spends most of her time holed up in her office writing stories. When she’s not writing, she can be found riding her bike, hiking the fabulous local trails, chasing her kids, or wishing that her thumb was a little more green. She has a bad habit of killing what she tries to grow, but hasn’t given up hopes of one day being a successful urban farmer.
Braxton writes erotic romance because romance is the stuff that makes life great, and sex is fun. The two belong together, both in life and in fiction.

I have to say this is totally different from Braxton's novella's. Don't get me wrong I still loved it.
This is some what of a story about 2 people from different sides of the tracks. That being said it doesn't stop them from getting what they want.
Jake and Clover knew each other from when Jake started going to his Aunt Tammy's house for the summer. Clover and her brother R.J where Tammy's neighbors. Each summer would bring different adventures for the trio. With each summer they got older and with getting older Jake became aware of Clover. Clover being the typical teenager didn't see Jake how Jake saw Clover. Well not until this last summer. Clover's car broke down. Her and R.J had to walk it. Along comes Jake who Clover didn't recognize until he told her who he was. He grew up, he was toned, tanned and sexy. That day their friendship blossomed into something great.
They took things slow, didn't rush, they talked about their feelings for one another. Jake was a man and stood up for Clover when she needed him. All this time with Jake made Clover realize that she loved him from when they were kids.
I loved this story. How they had history of growing up together granted it was just the summers. But they saw how each other grew through the years. Jake became a man. Clover a woman with determination. Like I said in the beginning of my review this is totally different from Braxton's novellas. There is romance just not erotic. I love romance though. I did have tears form a few times and I laughed a few times. Jake and Clovers story seemed like I was watching it play out in front of me. The situations they were in and the outcome from them. The ending was great I just wished Braxton didn't end it like that LOL!! How did she end it? You have read Clover and find out for yourself.
